Old Heavy Brass English Candlestick With Faces & Match Holder

Antiques : Lamps, Lighting : English : Candle Stand

 

What a find, this old brass candlestick from England with match holder. It has faces; on the match holder a smiling face, an open mouth face under the candle and a face with giant tongue on the handle, possibly another one under the match holder. There is ornate metalwork all over the base and even the drip catcher, very lovely piece. It is 5 & 1/2" tall, 6 & 1/2" long and 4 & 1/8" deep and in very good condition. The match holder seems a little tilted, but we see no evidence of any damage.
